14 Shocking Khushi
Part 14 Shocking Khushi
Khushi lay down on the bed, looking at Arnav's photo.
*Who are you Arnavji? What connection do we have? Why did you come into my life? I know I'm not up to your standard. It's our fate that I became your wife. I don't know what had been stored for us in the future. I don't know whether you will accept me or not. I think, thinking of getting a future with you is greediness. A normal woman like me can never be a pair of a KING. But, your sister bought me one core. I will do the job of its worth. As of now, I honestly don't have any idea what I'm going to do but I promise I will do my best."
Khushi slept thinking about Arnav even though she didn't know what to do, or where to start.
The next day morning
Khushi came out of the room after taking bath. She stopped hearing,
"Good morning, Khushi"
She turned behind and found smiling Shyam.
"Good morning Jeejaji" she also smiled.
He came close to her.
"I'm sorry for whatever happened in your life."
Khushi was silent. She didn't want to interrupt him. That was her first day for her in RM. So, she just wanted to observe everyone.
"I was unable to stop your marriage because I can't go against my wife. I can't fed-up her"
Khushi nodded affirmatively.
"Lavanya is not just my sister-in-law. I always consider her my daughter. From here on, you are also one. You no need to worry about anything. I'm here for you. You can ask me anything, anytime. I'm here for you. Think you have a brother in this house"
Khushi nodded ok with a smile. She liked Shyam and his approach.
"Khushi, don't try to go to Arnav's room if anyone forces you. You don't have to do it. It's terribly dangerous. Who else other than you know the seriousness? Be careful"
Khushi wondered. Did Shyam really say that?
"You may wonder... But, as a human, I can't ask you to be a wife of a mental patient. According to me, you and Lavanya are the same. Don't forget that"
She nodded ok pleasantly.
"I have been called Arnav's doctor here. You can deal with him directly. Ask him if you have any doubt regarding Arnav. you can suggest anything if you want to..."
"Thank you, Jeejaji" she smiled.
He left the place smiling. Khushi felt so energetic. We can say that Shyam had given her strength.
Khushi saw Anjali and Nani were doing Pooja. She came and stood next to them. Anjali and Nani smiled at her.
"I would like to go to the temple, Anjaliji," Khushi said.
"Shall I come with you?"
"No... I will go on my own"
"Take a car"
"No thanks, Anjaliji... the temple is at just five minutes of walking distance. I will go by foot"
"Shyamji said, the doctor is coming to meet you"
"Yeah, he told me too. I will come back before he reached RM"
Anjali nodded ok.
"You can take Lavanya with you at least"
"Don't worry Anjaliji. I'm not going to run away"
Anjali gulped down hard. Khushi left the place not waiting there.
"Is it enough?" Nani asked.
Anjali left the place with teary eyes. Nani felt bad for both Khushi and Anjali. She can do nothing.
Khushi came to the living room. That's when the landline rang. She looked here and there. But no one was there to attend the call. She attended it hesitatingly.
"Hello..."
"Khushi, this is Meena"
"Hi, Meena, how are you?"
"I'm fine Lavanya told me last night that you got married to Lavanya's brother"
"Mmmm"
"I'm trying her number for half an hour. Her phone is engaged. That's why I called through landline" Meena said.
"Do you want to talk to Lavanya?"
"No... I called to talk to you only. I want to tell you a very important matter"
"Tell me"
"I'm in my native to attend my cousin's wedding"
"Yeah, I know. You told me already"
"I got to know that this place is special for something"
"Something what?"
"For treating mental disorder patients"
Khushi got stuck. She turned around and looked here and there.
"Khushi... are you there?"
"Haannn..."
"You know they are following Ayurveda medicines and treatments for patients. I think Arnav Bhai can also be cured if he gets treated here."
"Oh..."
"Yes, Khushi, my Chachaji is working in one of such medical centers only. If you are ready, I can make you talk to the chief doctor of the center. I heard many *given-up* cases got cured here" she said hopefully.
"Really?"
"Yes, Khushi. This place is very hopeful. Why not you try?"
"I will talk to Jeejaji. He seems a very nice person. I will let you know their decision"
"Sure... I will be here for one week. I will introduce you to the doctor through a Zoom meeting. What say?"
"Sure... I will call you in the evening"
"Ok, take care"
"Bye"
Khushi didn't know what to say. Maybe that was the purpose she got married to Arnav. She searched for Shyam to talk about it to him. She stopped hesitatingly when she was about to cross Arnav's room. Didn't Shyam say don't go to Arnav's room? But it was locked. So, no problem. She slowly peeped in. She saw him fiddling with his pillow, lying on his stomach. He slowly raised his head and looked at Khushi. In no time, he jumped out of the bed and hid behind the bed. He slowly looked at her, lifting his head. That gave her courage. She slowly moved to the grill gate and stood looking at him. Arnav pulled his head down and then again looked at her. Getting a little more courage, Khushi extended his hand towards him and nodded her head like, come here. He stayed without a movement for a while and stood. Taking slow steps, he walked towards her.
That's when HP came there.
"Khushiji, is this CLIP yours?" he extended Khushi's clip.
Khushi nodded yes and took it from him. Arnav looked at the CLIP. His facial expression became horrible.
"Nooooo" he rushed to the corner of the room shouting and sat circling his knees, burying his face.
Khushi was confused. What happened to him all of a sudden? She looked at the clip and then Arnav. She got the point. He should be thought that she will cut her hand again. After all, he was scared of blood. She sighed.
"Where is Jeejaji?" She asked HP.
"He is taking bath. I suppose" HP said.
Khushi was disappointed. Shyam was the only person she liked to talk to in RM after Lavanya. She nodded ok and started walking, thinking about what Meena said. After coming from the temple, she thought to talk to Shyam about the Ayurveda treatment.
Within ten minutes, she reached the Temple. She smiled at DM idol.
"So, this is why you want me to marry Arnavji? did you see how handsome and stylish he had been? Why not? What's there that you don't know...! You knew everything. I don't think he will accept me as his wife. Yet, I will talk to Jeejaji and will get Arnavji cured. Let me see, what you are going to do for me. But one thing, whatever it is, I will accept it."
She again headed to RM. When she entered the premises, she stopped listening to someone's talk that sounded whispering. She thought to ignore it but she stopped again as they uttered Arnav's name. She moved in the direction slowly, sharpening her ears.
"Arnav got married. What if his wife starts taking care of him?"
"Who will dare near him? Even though she goes near him he will tear her flesh"
"What if she gets to know about us?"
"Just continue the medicines. He should never come out of this stage. Let her do anything... he will remain the same"
"Yeah, I'm giving him the medicine regularly. I'm doing that through HP indirectly without his knowledge because I don't want anyone to suspect me"
"Then no problem. Arnav will remain mental for the whole life"
Khushi was shocked to the core when she saw the person who was behind the plants. Her breath ditched her, seeing Shyam with someone. Maybe, he was the doctor who was treating Arnav... correction, pretending in the name of treating him.
To be continued...
